So apparently Nintendo will be releasing some new Greatest Hits (Nintendo Select) in a few weeks.  These are going to be $19.99...which for some, the price is 'meh', but for others, it's actually a pretty good deal. 

These should be released on March 11, 2016, all for $19.99....

Wii U

Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Pikmin 3
NES Remix Pack

Nintendo 3DS

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Yoshi’s New Island
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Mario Party: Island Tour

For Mario 3D and Pikmin, this is a steal, and Ocarina is a really good price as well, given the recent inflation of that title in the last year or so.

When they did this for the Wii, one thing I liked about it was that the spine wasn't any different from a regular release.  I prefer this as it keeps everything uniform on my shelf.  I wonder if these will be the same way.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I hope this is the case as well, if not I don't find printing out a new label.  I'm just excited to pay a low price for Mario and Pikmin.

I still don't own a Wii U yet, but at this point, I think I'm going to get a PS4 before I get a Wii U.

Didn't they add a little crown to the spine on some of the re-releases?  Seem to remember Animal Crossing had it.

Maybe I'm forgetting something.  I'll check when I get back home.

Yep, sure enough it's there.  I never noticed it before, but several Wii games have some type of logo there, so it really doesn't detract from the standard theme the way Player's Choice did for the GameCube.

But Ocarina is so rare!!!1!1!!!!1!  They're going to devalue my super rare, only played once but essentially brand new copy that's missing the case and has my name written in sharpie on it copy!  I hate Nintendo!  How could they do this?!?!?


But seriously, it's great that these titles are FINALLY getting a greatest hits-style re-release.

I just picked up a few.  These have the red frame on the front cover (obviously) and the a small crown on the spine near the bottom.  Hardly noticeable, but it IS there.  The back cover and insides to the game are exactly the same.  Even the disc.  Basically, take out the red cover and the crown on the spine and it is identical to the original release.  I actually just ordered the two of the original covers from eBay, and I'm just going put them into these case.  Boom. Authentic Mario 3D world and Pikmin 3 all with matching spines.
...I SUPPOSE I could have just printed covers from here, but I went for the real thing.

Noticed "Super Mario All Stars" for the original Wii was also re-released as a Nintendo Select.  Saw it today at Walmart (along with the others) for $19.99.
